This Lesser-Known Kiehl's Product Is My Favorite
You might be familiar with Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream. It's a holy grail skincare product for some HuffPost staff members and a tried-and-true classic. But although I've enjoyed using the Ultra Facial Cream before, I'm actually here to tell you about an under-the-radar sister product that's cheaper (and, I would argue, better): Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer. Both moisturizers come from the same line, and look pretty similar at first glance: They're both formulated to work for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and contain hydrating ingredients like squalane and glycerin (the Ultra Facial Cream has some additional ingredients like pro-ceramides and glacial glycoprotein). They're also both well-reviewed, though the Ultra Facial Cream definitely has more buzz. But there are a few noteworthy differences that make the Ultra Facial Moisturizer my personal favorite. First, I find the formula of the Moisturizer to be much more lightweight and thinner than the Cream. This isn't to say that the Moisturizer doesn't still deliver powerful results — I can vouch for the brand's all-day hydration claim. However, my combination skin loves the gel- or lotion-like feel of the Moisturizer as opposed to the richer Cream, because I find that it absorbs quickly and doesn't feel heavy. Both my dry patches and oily T-zone are satisfied. Kiehl's notes on Amazon in their Q&A section that the Moisturizer is better-suited for oilier skin types. I especially like to reach for it in spring and summer, when I know my face gets sweatier and I'd rather not pack on heavier products. If you've been thinking of swapping out some products for warmer months, this could be a good start. I also prefer the packaging of the Moisturizer, which comes in a squeeze bottle rather than the Cream's tub. I don't know about you, but I hate the sensation of digging my fingers into a vat of goo to get the product out. A bottle that lets me better control the amount I extract (and keeps it from getting under my fingernails) is a win in my books. I will concede that it's less convenient for traveling if you buy the bigger size bottle I own, but Kiehl's does sell mini 2.5-ounce bottles. Plus, I'll let you in on a not-so-secret secret: The Moisturizer is way cheaper than the Cream for the same amount of product. 4.2 ounces of the Moisturizer is $42, while a 4.2-ounce tub of the Cream is $70. Yes, $42 is still on the pricier side for a moisturizer, but a little goes a long way, and I'd even argue that I don't use much more of the Moisturizer per application than I would the Cream. One bottle lasts me months. Reviewers are also sold on the Ultra Facial Moisturizer, noting that it's a great year-round option, works well under powder foundations and doesn't have a greasy feel. One reviewer wrote, 'My coworker looked at my forehead and asked me if I had done any fancy Korean skin treatment. I told her it was just the smoothing effect of the moisturizer.' Another reviewer said, 'This lotion is my favorite! I've been using it for years.' They added, 'It absorbs well and gives your skin a healthy glow (NOT a shiny sweaty look).' Whether you're an Ultra Facial Cream devotee who wants something more lightweight or less messy to apply, or you're just looking for your next favorite moisturizer, don't overlook this hidden gem. Below, check out some more glowing reviews for why the Ultra Facial Moisturizer is worth the buy. Get it from Nordstrom, Ulta, or Amazon for $42 (also available in a smaller travel size and larger refill size).

I'm a beauty writer and these are Kiehl's best-selling products
Ideal for skincare fans wanting to refresh their routine, these are the Kiehl's products that shoppers can't get enough of Shoppers who feel their beauty shelf could do with a seasonal refresh, now is a good time to invest in some much-loved products. Cult skincare brand Kiehl's, known for its best-sellers, is a great place to start. What's more, the retailer is offering three freebies when customers spend over £70. Meanwhile, those who spend more than £80 will get an additional denim pouch. Simply add code: HISTREAT at checkout to get the offer. Whether beauty fans are loyal to the brand's classics or just keen to try something new, Kiehl's covers everything from hydrating creams to vitamin-packed serums and TikTok-famous cleansers. Elsewhere, LookFantastic is selling the recently launched Golden Lift Tightening Serum from Lancaster, a brand which Princess Grace Kelly was reportedly a fan of. At £93, the product aims to improve skin elasticity in as little as two weeks, whilst helping reduce wrinkles and pigmentation within a month. Medik8 just launched its C-Tetra Advanced Vitamin C Gel-Serum with Phyto Exosomes. Costing £69 for 30ml the new release is described as a high-performance, age-defying vitamin C serum by the brand, promising results in just seven days. For those keen to shop Kiehl's, the Ultra Facial Cream, £37 for 50ml, is certainly worth a go. Designed to deliver up to 72 hours of hydration, this popular facial cream contains 4.5% squalane, glacial glycoprotein and pro-ceramides. It's said to have a lightweight, non-greasy texture. One happy reviewer said: "I've been using this cream for six or seven months, and I believe it's minimising my fine lines and wrinkles. You don't need a lot to feel the softness melting into your skin." A second fan added: "My face is smooth and hydrated instantly. I recommend this product if you have dry skin like mine." Although most reviews are positive, some customers weren't satisfied with their purchase. One said: "An average product, the cream does not absorb well in my skin, and thus not helpful." Another Kiehl's bestseller is the Midnight Recovery Concentrate, retailing at £50 for 30ml. This beloved anti-ageing formula has been enriched with lipid-rich seed, flower oils and blant botanicals, to visibly reduce fine lines, refines skin texture and boost radiance in one sleep. More than 4,340 Kiehl's fans have given the Midnight Recovery oil a five-star rating. One 52-year-old skincare buff said in a review: "I've used the Midnight Recovery Oil pretty regularly for years and notice a difference when I use it consistently. Skin looks more youthful and fine lines don't seem as noticeable." Yet, not all shoppers were impressed, with one writing: "Don't really get what all the fuss is about. Okay product, doesn't really do anything noticeable to my skin" Customers wanting to pay less than full price can head over to Kiehl's 40% off selection, which includes some of the brand's most iconic formulas. Here shoppers can find incredible deals on best-selling products and curated gift sets, making it a brilliant opportunity to grab a thoughtful present for a skincare-obsessed friend.
